All that and no cover

Here’s Victoria Beckham in Vogue this month, NOT the cover. Even though it’s a pretty long ass article. The kind of long article that usually belongs to the front page subject. The kind of article with the kind of access that, for any other celebrity, comes only with a front page guarantee.

But Posh...

Posh gave it up - she allowed the writer insider her design studio, inside her hotel rooms, inside her Los Angeles home, invited him for dinner at the house, with her children, and David - and still... she only gets the inside and NO COVER.

Because Anna Wintour keeps f-cking with her. Extraordinary, isn’t it?

Anyway, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading the entire piece, and not just for the part where she reveals that Romeo received Pax’s Bieber guitar. Skim past the first few pages about how she designs all her own clothes. It starts getting really good a third of the way in. You’ll laugh when she refers to herself as “enormously pregnant” at the Royal Wedding. As if she’s ever been enormously anything. And what is her issue with tomatoes???

What’s best is what happens at her house. The way it’s decorated, yes, yes. But mostly at the dinner table, when she’s interacting with her kids, and how obviously in love she (still) is with her husband. And how her boys wanted this so badly for her, even her boys!, they started performing, doing tricks, whatever it took to impress the guest. Like a new family in the neighbourhood that desperately, desperately wants the community to come to their bbq.

Come on. Did your heart just break a little for her?

I mean, Brooklyn sang a song! Cruz spun on his head! It was like the whole family was begging ...

And still...that woman, that Anna Wintour, just shut it down.
